Climate change is the most serious existential crisis facing humanity.

This project seeks to understand how young adults in South Africa and Kenya talk about climate futures, online and offline.

Does climate change inspire feelings of apathy, anxiety or activism?

We seek to gather deeper insight into how young people speak about, imagine, and perceive their current and prospects in a warming world. We also look at how climate change impacts their existing socio-economic, personal, and social orientations.
